An Orem teenager's science project has caught the eye of Apple engineers. The student built a multi-touch screen, on his own, in just a couple of months.
Seventeen-year-old Bridger Maxwell made the multi-touch display in his bedroom. He says, "It's like a touch screen, but instead of using just one finger to poke things, you can use all of your fingers at once to use stretching and rotating."
If you have an iPhone, you're familiar with the multi-touch concept. But iPhones aren't really meant to be your main computer and can only register up to three touches. Maxwell's screen can register up to 100!
His cost about $400 to make, and it's compatible with Macs.
